Thats crazy. Lord, I cant imagine what that would possibly hurt. I couldn't live there if they enforced it. Ice cream is my one vice. :)

I can't imagine the local grocery store really enforcing this law.
That is just plain stupid.
Why would people not be allowed to buy ice cream after 6 pm???
And what of the ice cream parlors? Do they all close up shop at 6pm?
Or Mickey D's...do they stop selling ice cream cones and milk shakes after 6pm?
That is just plain strange. LOL Most often when I crave ice cream, it is late at night anyways.
